Which bars and weight plates can I use the 2M Easy Click with?

Training with dumbbells is an effective way to build strength and muscle mass. However, it can also lead to injury or damage if you use unsuitable barbells or weight plates. In this blog post, we'll explore this topic in more detail and explain which barbells and weight plates are permitted for training with your 2M Easy Click.

Barbell bars

Please note that there are now a large number of barbells on the market, which vary in size, material, and function. Regarding compatibility with the 2M Easy Click, you should make sure that you purchase a barbell with a thread and an outer thread diameter (D) of 30.0 mm (+/- 0.4 mm). You can find this information on the respective manufacturer's product page. If you don't see this information, you can inquire with the manufacturer.

Below, we've listed the most common dumbbell types that are compatible with the 2M Easy Click. With these dumbbells, you can perform almost 100% of all classic exercises.

1. Barbell bar

Barbell bars are typically up to 2.2 meters long and have a maximum load capacity of about 450 kilograms. They are used for exercises such as squats, bench presses, and deadlifts.

2. Dumbbell bar

Dumbbell bars are typically between 35 and 42 centimeters long and have a maximum load capacity of about 40 kilograms. They are used for exercises such as bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses.

3. SZ curl bar

EZ curl bars have a curved shape that allows you to keep your wrists in a neutral position. They are primarily used for exercises like bicep curls and tricep extensions.

Weight plates

The weight plates are generally available in the same sizes as the barbells. The standard size, which is compatible with the dumbbells mentioned above as well as the 2M Easy Click, has a hole with a diameter of approximately 31mm, allowing the weight plate to be slid onto the barbell. At the same time, you should ensure that the contact surface has a diameter (E) of more than 50mm, so that the 2M Easy Click rests fully on the weight plate. Typically, only the 0.5kg weight plates have a smaller diameter.

The weight plates are available in various weight classes, from 0.5 kg to 25 kg or more. With regard to the 2M Easy Click or the dumbbell, it doesn't matter whether you use a plastic or iron weight plate, as long as the hole diameter and the diameter of the contact surface (E) match the specifications above.

Conclusion

Training with dumbbells is a great way to build strength and muscle mass. If you want to use a barbell with the 2M Easy Click, you must ensure that it is a threaded barbell with an outer thread diameter of 30.0 mm (+/- 0.4 mm). The corresponding weight plates with a 31 mm bore are available in various materials. By adhering to these guidelines during training, you can ensure a safe and effective workout.
